They'll be in Waukegan, IL on the Saturday. I wonder if they'll fly into London after their show on Saturday.

I assume they very well might do that.But I choose Fridays because you get to see some arrivals and Sunday because you get to see some departures during the show.Probably hitting Cleveland up the weekend prior to see the Harrier so 3 days at London and I may end up single again.

nice to see a bit of a mix in the airshows. Was always fun when Pete Mcleod was up. I love the zoom and boom but these are a nice "sit back and enjoy" style act.

Insane with the amount of Vipers...that's 14 now with the Holloman Vipers announced earlier! Vipers are my favorite jet, so I probably should look into this show.

Join us Dave 8-) , it is epic... The Thursday and Friday arrivals are the highlight, most of the fast movers for static will do their best to beat up the field. Very relaxed atmosphere, easy in, easy out... And the hotels have AC!

Cheers
